Midas Touch

From the album If I Wasn't Me by Scottychams

Intro

Yeah

Cause now

I got Midas touch

Grabbed the greens

You know we lighting up

The night is young

We can't get enough

Everything turns to gold

Like I got Midas touch

Chorus

Everything changes

When you change your mind

Gold in the struggle

Gold in the grind

Gold in the moments

We thought we'd never find

I was lost in the dark

Now I'm built to shine

Everything changes

When you change your view

Gold in the pain

Gold in the truth

Gold in the love

That I bring to the booth

I don't do this for them

I do this for you

Verse 1

Stick to the mission

And maybe roll some swishes

I've been all up in my business

Pushing my limits

I don't need permission

I just need precision

Had to make a couple cuts

Had to trust my own decisions

I was sitting in the dark

Trying to spark up the image

Had a dream in my heart

But my mind couldn't finish

Now I'm living what I wrote

Every bar got a spirit

If the world don't listen

I'll just make 'em all hear it

I was down bad

Looking for a way back

Had to take the pain

Turn it into a playback

Had to face facts

Had to change tracks

Now I'm moving forward

Ain't no way I could stay back

They were talking like I wouldn't

So I did it how I should

Turned a little bit of nothing

Into something looking good

Now I'm standing where I'm meant to

Like I knew I always could

Every loss was just a lesson

Every lesson understood

Pre-Chorus

I don't chase the shine

I just bring it with me

I don't waste my time

On the ones against me

I just raise my vibe

Till the whole room lifts

Golden state of mind

Every line's a gift

Chorus

Everything changes

When you change your mind

Gold in the struggle

Gold in the grind

Gold in the moments

We thought we'd never find

I was lost in the dark

Now I'm built to shine

Everything changes

When you change your view

Gold in the pain

Gold in the truth

Gold in the love

That I bring to the booth

I don't do this for them

I do this for you

Verse 2

Yeah

I used to wish for a break

Now I'm breaking the mold

Used to sit in the cold

Now I'm making it gold

Used to question my soul

Now I'm taking control

Had to dig through the dirt

Just to find what I hold

That's pressure

That's patience

That's late-night greatness

That's writing through the stress

Till the pain starts fading

That's faith in the making

That's dreams worth chasing

That's me in the basement

Still elevating

I don't need no crown

I just need my sound

I just need my people

When the world gets loud

I just need that beat

And the smoke in the clouds

Then I put my heart in it

Till they all feel proud

This for the ones who kept going

When the road got rough

For the ones who stayed real

When the world switched up

For the ones with a dream

And a heart full of trust

Keep your hands to the sky

You got Midas touch

Chorus

Everything changes

When you change your mind

Gold in the struggle

Gold in the grind

Gold in the moments

We thought we'd never find

I was lost in the dark

Now I'm built to shine

Everything changes

When you change your view

Gold in the pain

Gold in the truth

Gold in the love

That I bring to the booth

I don't do this for them

I do this for you

Verse 3

Look

I'm not saying I'm perfect

I'm saying I'm working

I'm saying every scar

Had a purpose underneath the surface

I'm saying all the nights

When I felt like I was worthless

Turned into the reason

That the fire keeps burning

Now I walk with it

Talk with it

Put my whole heart in it

If I got a shot

Then you know I'm going hard with it

I don't need a lot

Just a beat and a spark with it

Then I turn the whole room gold

When I start spitting

I've been blessed with the vision

Had to test my ambition

Had to cut out the doubt

Had to trust intuition

Had to stop with the wishing

Had to start with the mission

Now the life that I'm building

Looking more like the vision

So let the night keep rolling

Let the good vibes hit

Let the old me fade

While the new me lifts

If it's all love now

Then it all makes sense

I had to lose myself once

Just to find my gift

Final Chorus

Everything changes

When you change your mind

Gold in the struggle

Gold in the grind

Gold in the moments

We thought we'd never find

I was lost in the dark

Now I'm built to shine

Everything changes

When you change your view

Gold in the pain

Gold in the truth

Gold in the love

That I bring to the booth

I don't do this for them

I do this for you

Yeah
